A/N: Hello Beautiful People!
I was going to post this tomorrow morning, but then heard from my Nonna that she'll need me to help cook. Not really looking forward all that work. So, I'm gonna post this now. Probably won't update for a couple days after tomorrow.
So, I'll just say; Merry Christmas, and I hope all of you have a wonderful time with your family and friends. As always, leave your reviews and I'll read them when I can.
Enjoy.
Chapter 4: Stop Crying Your Heart Out
Roadside Motel
It'd been half an hour since they got back from Cleo's Cabin. Bo and Lauren figured that they needed some time to process what Cleo had told them. If she was right, then soon Bianca and Elena's souls would take over and theirs would cease to exist. They were going to lose themselves.
When they got back, Lauren went straight to the bathroom and locked the door. Bo tried to stop her but she was too fast. So she just leaned against the door frame, knocking gently. "Lauren, I know you're upset. And angry; probably. But between the two of us, you're the smartest. I need you to hold it together" she spoke through the door.
The door opened, and Lauren looked at her with a frown. "And how do you suggest I do that?" She didn't get an answer from her. "No seriously, what'd you think we should do?"
"I don't know!" Bo shrugged, raising both arms in frustration. "Believe it or not Lauren, you're not the only one who's freaking out about this!" She turned away, walking it off.
Lauren realised in that moment that she was being very selfish. This wasn't just happening to her; it was happening to Bo too. So she slowly walked behind her, wanting to touch her shoulder but she decided against it. "I'm sorry…" She sighed. "… I just don't know how to feel about this"
Turning around, Bo saw her frightened face. "Neither do I…" She stood closer to her, not caring about the awkwardness anymore. "… I can't imagine not being me. Or ever seeing you again" she leaned forward, letting their foreheads touch.
"I get it now…" Lauren whispered. She had to explain when Bo asked her what she meant. "… Our connection; the way we feel for each other…" She lifted her head, looking at Bo fully. Reaching a hand up, she placed a lock of hair behind her ear. "… I loved you before I even met you" she smiled softly.
Bo had never heard anyone say something like that to her. "I did too" she could feel it.
"Does that mean it wasn't real?" Lauren wondered. "Did we have a say in any of this?" It broke her heart to think that she and Bo were only meant to love each other because of a stupid soul linking ritual that was placed over two thousand years ago.
To be honest, Bo had the same thoughts. But then she thought back to everything they'd been through together. And the more she thought about it, the more she knew that they did have a choice in this. "Of course we did…" She said. "… What we have is very real" she believed that.
"How can you be so sure?" Lauren needed more than that.
"Because; if we were meant to be this amazing couple; deep in love. Then why did we go through shit when we were together? It's because our relationship was real. It wasn't part of some age-old soul bond. We fought, we laughed, we broke up…" She paused, reliving the heart ache for a moment. "… It doesn't get more real than that"
She locked eyes with her, knowing what was going to happen next but she was worried that if she did; they'd end up triggering another memory. They were just too painful. But then again, she could never keep herself away from Lauren.
Lauren decided to make the first move and kissed her. It was slow, and gentle. She felt Bo's hands fall to her waist, squeezing her hips gently. She held Bo's face in her hands, not wanting to break this kiss for anything. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her head. She had to pull back. "Ahh!" She closed her eyes, holding her temples.
Of all the times for this to happen, Bo wasn't happy about it. In fact, she was taking charge right now. Enough was enough. "Lauren? Listen to me…" She held her head, "… I know it hurts. And you feel like you have to give into the pain. But you can't. Your soul is stronger than hers. Don't let her defeat you" she referred to Elena, who's soul was trying to break free.
Memories flashed through her mind. Happy ones, sad ones, scary ones, basically any kind of memory Elena ever had. But she listened to Bo's words. And she did as her ex instructed, she fought her hardest. Within a few minutes, the flashes stopped and the pain along with them.
She opened her eyes, settling them on Bo who was smiling at her. "I don't how much longer I can handle this pain…" She exhaled. "… I think brain surgery with no anaesthetic would be kinder" she tried to joke.
Bo took her hand, bringing her over to the bed and sitting down with her. "I think you've just proved that you can handle it…" She told her. "… You fought her Lauren; and you won. We're gonna figure this out, I promise. No prehistoric Queen is taking me over. Not now; not ever" she wasn't giving up.
"Then it's settled; we both fight…" Lauren rested her head on Bo's shoulder. "… For as long as we can"
After a much-needed breather, the two of them decided that they needed to get back on track. According to Cleo, Elena's Elemental powers had almost finished regenerating. And once they were back, it wouldn't be long before Elena's soul tried to take over Lauren completely.
Bo felt Bianca trying to break through in her own body, but she wasn't giving up without one hell of a fight. She picked the wrong descendant to mess with. This was her life; she wasn't letting someone take it from her.
Yes, Bianca and Elena were wronged by the people meant to protect them. And they loved each other in a tough time. But that wasn't Bo or Lauren's fault. How dare they try and take over their lives.
Not cool!
While Lauren was checking her Fae records for any kind of help, Bo was on the phone with Trick. "You see our dilemma Trick. If we take the time to drive back home, it gives Bianca and Elena more strength to push through. Can you please explain to me, how they can even be doing this?" She paced back and forth, glancing at Lauren who was typing away on the laptop she'd brought.
"There isn't much written about linking souls Bo…" Trick sighed into his end. "… Those kinds of rituals were never practiced because they were too dangerous. Clearly, Bianca felt like it was her only option. Only now; you and Lauren are paying for it"
Bo scoffed, "Yeah, no shit. There's gotta be a way we can undo the linking spell she used…" She didn't hear him reply. "… This's usually the part where you save the day and give me the answers I need" she was really hoping not to break the tradition.
"It's not that simple Bo. This situation, predates even me. I can't explain something I'm not familiar with. Look, go back to Cleo. She was Bianca's handmaiden. If anyone can help you with this; it's her" he was sure of that.
Bo pitched the bridge of her nose, this was starting to get to her now. "Yeah alright…" She sighed, "… I'll call you back if I find anything…" she hung up the phone. Just as she was doing that, Lauren waved her over to the little table in the corner of the room. "… Got something?"
Lauren nodded, "Well, at least I think I have…" She told Bo to sit next to her, so she could see the laptop screen. "… There's not a lot mentioned on linking souls. Apparently, it comes with a warning to all that try the spell"
"What kind of warning?" Bo asked.
"Two souls can't occupy the same body…" Lauren said. "… Before we touched their things, their souls weren't alive inside of us…" She looked at her ex, seeing her confusing. She was losing her. "… Umm, think of them as being asleep. And when we got the shocks, they woke up" she made it clearer.
Bo nodded, funnily enough; she understood that. "Okay, so what happens when they're awake? How long do we have?" That was the most important question.
That was hard for Lauren to answer. "Hard to say. Could be weeks, days, or hours. I think the flashbacks are a sign of them getting closer. So, the more flashes we keep having; the less time we have before they take over completely"
"Well that sucks…" Bo smiled sarcastically. "… One thing I don't get though; is that Trick couldn't find any information on this. And you hit a few keys on the computer and suddenly you're an expert? Where'd you get the info?" She had to ask.
Lauren smiled, "Trick couldn't find anything because he was looking in the wrong place…" She said. "… He's been checking the Light's archives. They would never risk their safety for something as stupid as soul linking. The Light play by the rules; but the Dark don't. So I checked their archives"
"And how do you have access to them?" Bo wondered. "Doesn't Evony encrypt the shit out of those records?" She would've thought the Morrigan would've.
"Oh, she does…" Lauren nodded, "… Thankfully, she's not too bright. I didn't even need to bother hacking it. Her password is Prada…" She and Bo shared a good laugh at Evony's expense. Then got back on topic. "… If we wanna stop this, we need to sever the link between their souls and ours. The shocks we got from their things is what awakened the link" she finished.
Bo knew everything she needed to know. Well, except one thing. "Any idea on how to do that?"
And that was when Lauren came up empty, "None so far" she slumped back in her chair.
"Hey? It's okay…" Bo held her hand. "… You did good Lauren. We have more information now, which means we can go back and bring Cleo up to speed. Besides, I get the feeling she knows more than she's letting on" she just had a vibe.
"Bo, she fainted when she saw your face…" Lauren got up from her seat, closing the lid of her laptop and taking it back to the bed. "… I don't think she's the evil mastermind you're making her out to be" how could Cleo hide something from them, she was an old lady.
Cleo's Cabin
This day had been very strange.
Cleo hadn't laid eyes on Bianca for thousands of years. And then to meet Bo and suddenly see her again; it was crazy. Bianca was good to her at times. But other times, she was cruel and vindictive. And Cleo resented her for that. Which was why she took her revenge all those years ago.
She was the one who told Lycus about Bianca and Elena's affair. She gave him all the letters that Bianca was bringing to her. And also, told him that Elena was sending letters back.
No, it wasn't the nicest thing to do. But Bianca had it coming. She killed Cleo's lover because he was a noble from another Family. Bianca made it out that he was using her to get to Draco; but Cleo didn't believe it.
Her lover; Vicus, was a sweet man. And he didn't care that she was so far below his station. He loved her for who she was. And Bianca took that from her. What choice did Cleo have but to get her revenge?
Of course, Elena getting caught in the crossfire wasn't her intent. She thought Lycus would go after Bianca directly. But when he killed Elena instead, she wanted to take back what she did. Only by that time, it was too late.
That was the moment when she decided to resign from her position as Bianca's handmaiden. She couldn't risk her Queen finding out that it was her to told Lycus the truth. She'd been running for two millenniums. And had only stopped a century ago.
Because that was when Bianca died. There was no reason for her to keep running now. Another thing she left out when explaining things to Bo and Lauren; was that Lycus knew all about the ritual Bianca and Elena had performed on themselves. She told him so.
Betraying Bianca haunted her until this day.
But she always thought back to how cruel her Mistress was to her. And that outweighed any guilt she felt. And even though he didn't have to; Lycus had Cleo taken care of. He saw to it, that she would never need to work for the rest of her life.
Providing that she did one small thing for him.
And that was, to notify him if she ever found the incarnation of his dead Wife. From what Cleo had heard; Lycus was still trying to bring about the vision that a seer had shown him. That he would Father a powerful child, one that was half Wolf; and half Elemental.
Such a creature would be unstoppable.
Cleo always thought that meant he just wanted Elena back. Or at least, an embodiment of her. But that wasn't the case. No, what he had planned for his Wife's doppelgänger was much worse. So she sent a message to him, telling him that Elena's doppelgänger was here and to hurry before she left.
An hour after she'd sent the message; Cleo wanted to take it back. But it was too late for that now. This was her problem. Bianca deserved what she got. But Elena didn't. She just made the mistake of loving an evil Queen.
And yet Cleo still served her up to Lycus on a silver platter. "What have I done?" She whispered to herself. But didn't have much time to process it, as there was a knock at her door. She opened it, seeing Bo and Lauren. "I didn't expect another visit from you so soon"
"Yeah sorry, we just wanted to catch you up on a few things…" Lauren smiled at her, "… Since you helped up out with everything before" she and Bo both noticed that Cleo was acting a little strange.
And to Bo, it just made her wearier of this woman. "Something wrong, Cleo?" She asked her, eyeing her curiously.
Cleo shook her head with a smile, "No, not at all. Please, come in…" She let them inside. "… But I'm afraid we'll have to cut this chat short. I have an appointment that I mustn't be late for" she smiled, not wanting to give anything away.
"Well, we'll try not to keep you too long…" Lauren stood next to the couch. She watched Cleo head to the kitchen and start a batch of tea. When it was brewed, she came back and poured them both a cup. "… So, we found some interesting information regarding our little predicament" she picked up her tea cup.
Raising her eyebrows, Cleo nodded; taking a seat next to them both at the table. "Really? And you've only been gone a few hours; that's good investigative work on your part. So, what did you find exactly?" She asked, sipping her own tea.
Over the next few minutes, Bo and Lauren explained everything they'd found in the Dark archives. And that they were wondering if Cleo had any idea on how to reverse the ritual that Bianca and Elena performed. After all, she was there when it was done.
Bo cleared her throat after taking a second gulp of her tea. "Sorry…" She excused herself. "… This tea has a bit of a kick. Did you use a strong brand?" She felt a burning in her throat, it was weird. Trick's tea didn't taste like this.
Cleo just smiled, "I only brew pure tea leaves, not the kind you'd find in a Supermarket…" She chuckled. "… A spoonful of sugar can balance out the bitterness" she gestured to the cup of sugar that was sitting in the middle of the table.
Instead of being rude, like she always was. Bo decided to give the sugar a go. But it didn't help, if anything it made it sickly. But she smiled anyway. Not wanting to be disrespectful. Lauren asked if Cleo knew of a way to help them, but she just replied with a No. "Well then, I guess we should hit the road. It's a long drive back home" she went to stand when she suddenly found herself becoming woozy.
Lauren tried to help her, but was feeling out of sorts herself. "Whoa! Is the room spinning or is it just me?" She held her head.
"It's you…" Cleo told them. "… I'm afraid, you won't be going anywhere. I didn't want to hurt either of you. But I made a deal a long time ago, and to back out now would be foolish of me…" She watched them fall to their knees. Trying to balance themselves on each other, "… Don't worry. It won't be long now"
Bo looked at Lauren, at least what she thought was Lauren. Her vision had gone very blurry. "Hate to say I told you so but…" She felt herself losing consciousness. "… I told you so" her eyes closed, and she fell onto her back.
Lauren tried to fight it as much as she could. "Bo?" She shook her ex. "Wake up!" She had trouble staying awake herself. She felt Bo's pulse and her ex was very much alive. Just asleep. "You drugged us…" She should've listened to Bo. "… Why?" Her arms felt numb.
"I owe a debt…" Cleo sighed. "… And you, are the payment" she watched as Lauren's eyes closed, and she fell to her side. Next to Bo. Both of them unconscious. She'd used a very heavy dose of Belladonna. In large amounts it can make things bitter, but she honestly didn't think they'd notice.
Cleo waited for another half an hour, then decided to take Lauren down to the parking zone where Lycus was meant to meet her. No one could drive up to her cabin. It was too out of reach. If he saw Bo, he'd kill her just for resembling Bianca. Even though she had to give up one, Cleo wanted to save the other.
Suddenly, a black truck pulled up in front of her. Exiting the car, Lycus still looked as young as ever. Thanks to his ancient Wolf genes. "Cleo…" He smiled at her. She looked old. "… It's nice to know that in all this time; your loyalty to me hasn't wavered" he stood before her.
"Loyalty to repay my debt; yes…" She nodded. "… But I have no loyalty to you" she never liked him, only worked for him for a few years. She had to after he'd taken care of her.
"Very well. Where is she?" He asked. Watching her go to the backseat of her own car, and showing him where Lauren laid unconscious. He couldn't believe it, she looked exactly like Elena. "I wonder if deep down; Elena knows I'm here. And if not, she's in for a rude awakening. Consider your debt paid in full" he snapped his fingers.
Two men exited his truck, and walked over to take Lauren to their car.
But Cleo wanted to know what was going to happen to her. "What will you do with her?" She approached him before he left.
Lycus turned to her, wondering why she'd ask him that. "I don't believe it's any of your concern Cleo…" He didn't have time to divulge his plans. "… You did your job; and your debt's paid. Leave it at that" he got into the backseat of the truck, waiting for his men to drive away.
Cleo watched them drive off; she couldn't believe she'd done this. Lauren was innocent. The only crime she committed was sharing Elena's face. Which still wasn't her fault. She didn't ask for this burden. With the exchange over; Cleo walked back to her cabin.
As she crossed the threshold, she noticed Bo's body was gone. And before she could even think about looking for her; Cleo was spun around and pushed into the far wall.
"WHERE IS SHE?!" Bo yelled, her eyes flashing blue. She'd woken up a few minutes ago, and Lauren and Cleo were both gone. Then she remembered that Cleo had done something to them to put them to sleep. When Cleo didn't answer, Bo had her pocket knife at the ready. "SPEAK!" She placed the tip of the knife under her chin.
Cleo sighed, there was no point in keeping it from her. Even if Bo knew the truth, there was no way she was getting Lauren back. Lycus would kill her before she got the chance. "Lycus has her" she answered.
Bo remembered that name from Reyna's story. "Elena's Husband?" She saw Cleo nod. "What does he want with her?" She wasn't leaving this place without answers.
"I wasn't cleared on all the specifics—"
With a push of her head, Bo smacked Cleo's head onto the wall hard. "Well then you better get clear! And fast! You did all this to hand her over to him; you think I'm gonna believe you don't know what he wants? What kind of fool do you take me for Lady?!" She knew Cleo was dirty. But she listened to Lauren in spite of her gut telling her otherwise.
"He wants what he was promised all those years ago…" Cleo began, feeling the sharp tip cut her chin. "… The powerful child the Seer told him he'd create. But in order to get what he wants, he needs an Elemental of Ancient descent. That's where Lauren comes in"
Bo felt disgusted at the thought. "He can't force her to have his kid"
Cleo shook her head. "No. He doesn't want one with her…" She told her, which seemed to relieve her mind of those wicked thoughts. "… Elena's betrayal still runs deep with him. But that doesn't mean he can't take her Elemental essence and put it into another body. He'll be killing two birds with one stone"
"How so?" Bo didn't get it.
"Elena's essence is taking root inside of Lauren…" Cleo said. "… That's why she's been able to tap into it. Like with what happened to the dead rose. Only, Elementals are rare creatures. Especially those of Elena's line"
Bo was getting sick of all this running around, she pushed her again. "Why?! What'll happen to Lauren if he follows through with his plan?"
Cleo looked into her eyes. "If he succeeds in placing her essence into another; her body will wither and die. You have to understand; when Elementals lose their powers; for whatever reason, they feel like frauds. And some believe that not living; would be better than living without their gifts. Elena's line; cursed themselves to perish if that ever happened. Lycus knows this"
Bo understood what Cleo was saying. Elena's line had cursed themselves to death if they ever lost their abilities. It made sense since they felt that was a better fate than living without them.
"And by taking her essence; he'll be getting the two things he's always wanted right?! What? Killing Elena, the first time wasn't good enough? Now he has to go after Lauren too?" She let her go. Turning away to take a breath. She didn't know where Lycus was, or how much time she had until Lauren died. "Where's he taken her?"
"To his Estate; most likely…" Cleo rubbed the back of her head, "… You'll never get close enough to save her Bo. Lauren will die…" She told her. "… Bianca couldn't save Elena; what makes you think you'll have better luck?"
And that, was when Bo snapped. Without warning, she spun on her heel and launched her knife directly at Cleo. It hit her right in the heart. There was no way she was leaving without making her suffer for what she'd done.
"I'm not Bianca" that was the only reason she needed.
She didn't need the knife back; she had a hundred more just like it back home. But she couldn't go back home. Not yet. She guessed that Lycus lived in the area. Otherwise he wouldn't have gotten here so fast. But she still needed help; which meant she needed her friends.
Pulling out her phone; Bo dialled Dyson's number. "Hey, it's me. Don't ask me why; but I need you to come meet me. Roadside Motel, Brookland. The drive is long; so if you can find a way to get here faster then I'd really appreciate it. Lauren's been taken and I need back up" when Dyson told her he was on his way; she hung up and went for the door.
But suddenly, she caught a glimpse of something in the mirror to her left. Walking closer, she noticed that her reflection didn't look normal. It was almost like it was looking back at her. "I'm losing my mind" she rubbed her eyes; exhaling.
"The only thing you're losing; is time!"
That voice sounded familiar; because it was her own voice. Bo lifted her head, removing her hands from her eyes to see her reflection staring right at her. This was not happening. Was it? Then Bo wondered, if Bianca's soul was almost finished taking over her body. "Bianca, I presume?" She couldn't believe she was talking to her reflection.
"You presume right…" Bianca smiled back at her. Yep, this was weird. "… I warned you about that street rat and you failed to heed it. Now look what's come of it. Lycus has Elena; again"
That was when Bo realised, the feeling she had telling her not to trust Cleo wasn't her own. It was Bianca. It made sense since she was gaining control by showing her the memories. Why not take the driver's seat on her instincts too? "Not Elena…" She corrected her. "… Her name's Lauren"
Bianca shook her head in the mirror. "Not to me. If it walks like Elena and talks like Elena; then it's her. And it's only a matter of time; before she takes control of her new body. Speaking of which; your time is running short too. That impulse you had to kill Cleo; didn't come from you. It was all me"
Bo knew she didn't feel right killing her, even after she handed Lauren over. Bo never fancied herself a killer. Was any thought she had hers anymore? Or was Bianca working her as a puppet? "Whatever it was; it doesn't make a difference. I'll get Lauren back, and when I do we'll find a way to get rid of both of you!" She punched the mirror, not wanting to look at it anymore.
They were in this mess because of that bitch.
Time was running out now.
And if Bo wasn't careful; by the time this was over she would lose herself; and Lauren.
Roadside Motel – Later
When Bo returned to the Motel; her head was throbbing. She was clouded by the memories and flashes in her mind. She was only just recalling the memory that she'd gotten when Cleo drugged her. While Lauren was being taken; she was living her own personal nightmare. And it felt just as bad.
Bianca was getting ready to saddle up on her horse to travel to Elena. She hadn't received a single letter from her beloved for weeks. And she was worried. But even more so now. A few days ago she felt a sharp pain in her heart. As if someone had torn it from her chest.
She and Elena were connected thanks to the ritual. So she knew it had to have been Elena's pain she was feeling. And that meant Lycus had harmed her again. Bianca wasn't going to stand idly by anymore. She couldn't care if Draco came after them. She wanted to be with Elena.
No more stalling.
She wanted to leave for Elena's home the moment she felt the pain but due to Draco's paranoia she was unable to leave the temple. But now that he was off on a quest of some kind; she was free to go as she pleased.
Just as she was about to jump up onto her trusted steed; her handmaiden Cleo appeared with a small package in hand. "Whatever it is; it can wait until I return…" She was about to mount the horse when Cleo told her it was urgent. "… Who left it?" She asked.
"One of King Lycus' guards delivered it. I recognised his house's colours…" Cleo felt awful for this, because she knew that whatever was inside this package was born from her wrongdoing. She wished she never opened her mouth to Lycus now. "… I smell blood; my Queen" she nodded at the package.
Bianca's heart sank. She watched Cleo bow in front of her holding up the package that was wrapped in some kind of animal fur. "You're excused…" She took the package and dismissed her, waiting for her to leave. Once she did, Bianca walked to her bedroom. And then opened the package.
When she saw what was inside, she screamed in anger. It was a person's heart, covered in blood. Beside it was a note. When she read it; she couldn't control the beast that roared inside of her.
Please find enclosed, the heart of Queen Elena.
And know that if it weren't for you and your vile influence that she'd still be alive. Now you will spend the rest of your days; remembering that her death, was your fault.
My sincere condolences,
King Lycus.
Bianca couldn't be angrier. Hell, she'd never been angrier in any other moment of her life than she was right now. But she couldn't be sure if this was a trick or not. So she called for Cleo to return to her. Cleo was a shifter, and could smell if the heart belonged to Elena or not.
When Cleo just gave her a sad look; Bianca fell to her knees crying her eyes out. She couldn't believe this had happened. She thought she would've whisked her away eventually. And then they'd be free from this boring life. But now that could never happen.
Elena was dead.
And even the though the ritual they performed ensured they'd find each other again. Bianca didn't know when that would be. After all, thanks to her vile Husband; she was now immortal and short of cutting off her own head; which would be extremely difficult to do by herself; she couldn't be killed.
Cleo wanted to comfort her, after all this was her fault. She never intended for Elena to get caught in the middle of this. She only wanted their affair to be taken from them, just like her lover was taken from her. She didn't wish for Elena to die.
"Is there anything I can do for you my Queen?" She knew it was an empty gesture, but she had to ask.
Bianca wasn't one for compassion; but after feeling a heartache as painful as this; she now realised the mistake she'd made with Cleo. She'd killed Vicus because she felt like it. This was something she had to repent for. She got to her feet, but they felt like jelly.
"Some time ago…" Bianca wiped her tears. "… I inflicted this same pain upon you; when I struck Vicus down for nothing more than my need to be superior. Now that I am on the receiving end of that pain; I must apologise to you Cleo…" She honestly did mean it. "… Please; forgive me" she knelt at Cleo's feet, begging for her forgiveness.
Cleo couldn't believe what she was seeing. Bianca was broken. She'd gotten what she wanted; revenge for Vicus' death. And yet she didn't feel satisfied? What had she done? "Losing your one true love; is the hardest thing anyone will ever go through in their life…" She brought Bianca to stand, walking her to the bed. "… But you will go on, my Queen" she sat with her.
"There is no life without her" Bianca cried.
Seeing her like this, broke Cleo's heart. And it shouldn't after what Bianca had done. "Perhaps not now…" She spoke softly. "… But there will be. The linking ritual ensured that. You will see her again. And until then; you will carry her with you. In your heart" she smiled.
Bianca felt a lot better after talking with her. And Cleo was right; she would see Bianca again. If she ever died herself before one of Elena's descendants were born. Or if one was born in the meantime; then she'd find her. "Lycus must pay for this" she knew that above anything.
"Agreed. But do you think it's wise my Queen?" Cleo asked. "He must know that provoking you with this cruel of a message would draw you to him. Perhaps he's waiting for you to seek revenge, so that he can kill you too"
"I cannot be killed…" Bianca wasn't worried about herself. "… Not anymore. My retribution must be quick. I shall let him stew for a while; and take the time to mourn my beloved. But he will die for this unspeakable act" she wasn't letting him get away with it.
Cleo nodded, "Perhaps we could have a burial for her; somewhere on the grounds. Lord Draco hardly steps foot out there. I'm certain Elena would want to be laid to rest near nature. It was very sacred to her" she wanted to make up for this.
"That would be lovely…" Bianca said. "… We should complete the burial before Draco returns from his travels. Please have her heart-" She paused, thinking that this was something no one should have to say. "Have it prepared while I find a spot in the gardens" she got up and left the room.
Bo blinked her eyes, reliving the memory.
She didn't want that to happen to her and Lauren. Bianca may be strong, and have a hold on her like no other. But Bo was happy with who she was. And there was no way she was letting that prehistoric bitch take her over. Dyson had called and said he'd found a faster way to get to her.
So all Bo had to do now was wait.
A/N: What's Bo gonna do? Let me know what you all thought. Merry Christmas! Xoxo
